Bioinformaticians Discover Genes in Bacterial Genomes are Arranged in a Meaningful Order in c/science@mander.xyz
[–] lemming 2 points 2 days ago

It's not so much about nuclear envelope and more about ends. DNA polymerase (an enzyme that builds new DNA) cannot copy the whole end - there are a few bases that should be at the end but cannot be added. Eukaryota deal with it by a complex mechanism (they have telomeres), but it allows for multiple chromosomes and therefore larger genomes. Bacteria have a circular genome instead, a circle doesn't have an end, so they can copy as much as they need.

BTW, mitochondria and plastids, being former bacteria, also have circular genomes.

I don't remeber the movies, but didn't the dead finish the battle around Minas Tirith? In books, they defeated the fleet of bad guys near the mouth of Anduin, freeing significant army, which then takes the ships anf goes to Minas Tirith. The rest of the battle there is not unusually supernatural, if I remember correctly. I remeber not likig this part of the film. I understand it, but I think this part in particular felt very abrupt.

Are the newly created dire wolves more similar to actual dire wolves from the past or to gray wolves? in c/askscience@lemmy.world

Identification of species and their relatedness has not.been done on morphological, but rather molecular basis for quite some time. In molecular terms, they are slightly modified grey wolfs. BTW, dogs are all one species, all very similar even on molecular level, and yet look at their morphology...

How do foreign nationals feel about Estonia's decision to revoke their voting rights? in c/europe@feddit.org

If you come from elsewhere in the EU, yes, you can always vote in local elections and european parliament elections where you live. If you're from elsewhere, it depends on local law.

It isn't great when a doctor goes to fetch their colleague to have a look while examinig you. But of course that after all the same boring stuff, they are excited about something unusual. I heard about an ophthalmologist who, out of all her carreer, was most excited about solving someone's issues by finding crabs in their eyebrows.

Cool, way beyond my skills :-) It's great that I can be sure I won't miss anything, if anything new appears, I'll see it here. Thanks a lot, it's amazing!

What are some lesser-known obscure TV series that went under the radar, that you would recommend? in c/Television@lemm.ee
[–] lemming 12 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

Galavant

Mighty boosh

Red dwarf

Misfits

I guess in this case obscure differs a lot geographically, but I definitely know places where they are almost completely unknown.

Trump says U.S. will 'get Greenland,' military force may not be needed but not ruled out in c/globalnews@lemmy.zip
[–] lemming 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, if USA and Europe were at war, with article 5, they could arrange it so that Europe fought Europe and USA fought USA, singe they are allies and must help. It would save a lot of transatlantic logistics and make things much easier.

It sure is, but on google maps, it looks as big as northern America.

Does Trump want Greenland so bad because he thinks it's huge due to a map projection?

Let's put Factorio on the Canvas! (self.factorio)

Hello,

let's try and make a cog wheel on the Canvas. Space is getting limited, but I believe we still might squeeze in.

Here's a template (after moving to a new area): https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=921&y=276&zoom=1&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FgbA1i7V.png&tw=43&tx=536&ty=339&ts=ONE_TO_ONE
